The most difficult thing to overcome in the desert is the lack of water.
Gu Yunyang and his team were researching drought-resistant varieties.
The same applies to almonds, and also to the grape varieties that my senior colleagues are researching.
However, Gu Yunyang's research was faster, and he had already developed a new variety of almonds.
Compared to the original almonds, the one Gu Yunyang researched has a more developed and denser root system, which allows it to take root better and penetrate deep into the ground to absorb water.
It can also better store up rainfall for future consumption.
The two talked as they walked through the experimental field.
This entire area was assigned to Gu Yunyang by the professor.
Here, no matter what Gu Yunyang researches, the professor won't interfere.
Furthermore, a portion of the funds will be approved so that Gu Yunyang can purchase some resources needed for the experiments.
Doing research here is really difficult.
Not only are living conditions poor, but water resources are also very difficult to obtain.
Every few days, a truck would deliver water to Gu Yunyang and his group.
In addition, they would make some containers so that rainwater would fall on them every time it rained.
Then they would seal these vessels and keep them for later use.
Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and remembered that there were several devices for collecting water in the desert in his previous life.
Gu Yunyang felt that it was still possible to take it out in advance.
So Gu Yunyang said, "Professor, actually, based on the temperature difference, we can design a device that can be buried 2 meters underground and use solar power to drive the blades to rotate, drawing air from the ground into the ground."
Water vapor condenses into water droplets due to the temperature difference between the soil and the upper air, and is eventually collected.
This device was indeed proven to be feasible in later generations.
There is also an absorbent material used to make an iron frame.
After the wind blows, the water vapor will condense, and then, using gravity, the water droplets will slowly fall down along the iron frame.
It eventually landed in a container for collecting water vapor, which can also collect water.
However, this device requires an absorbent material, which is currently unavailable.
So Gu Yunyang simply said the first one.
The professor clearly understood some of the principles. After hearing what Gu Yunyang said, he considered it for a moment and said, "What materials do you need? I can have someone buy them."
Living in the desert, the first problem to solve is the issue of drinking water.
If Gu Yunyang's method can solve this part of the problem.
It's not that we can't approve his research.
"However, your research on drought-resistant plants is of paramount importance."
Because it is interdisciplinary, and the professor himself is a scientist specializing in botany and agronomy, he pays more attention to this aspect.
There is not much research on mechanics.
However, Gu Yunyang himself studied across disciplines at school and performed very well in all of them.
Adding to what Gu Yunyang said, it sounded as if he had learned a lot.
